Or you can bag one online. Either way, the listings mag has a 'huge' poster as part of a special edition, descrived as 'a mixture of self-portraiture and his trademark use of spraypaint' and is 'unlike anything he's ever done for a magazine before and may never be repeated'. Size? That's around 682mmm x 515mm.

if you miss out at the newsagents, you can buy magazines + poster or the magazine alone for £12.99 or £10 respectively right now at the Time Out website. While stocks last obviously. Oh yes, proceeds from each sale will be donated to the Haiti earthquake relief effort.
